Columbus firefighters union files grievance arguing over jurisdiction for new housing development
Construction crews are working rapidly on what will be an additional 800 homes and separate apartment buildings on the west side of Columbus.64 CommentsComment on Facebook
At the end of the day does it matter? Norwich will still cover the runs just like other areas that are “Columbus territory”. Because Columbus relies on the townships to cover what they can’t.
Wow. We need a new fire station on the far SouthSide. So many of our runs are picked up by fire stations outside of Columbus. I live in the largest precinct in Columbus, and we only have 1 fire station to serve all our residents. 😠
A big shout out to our firefighters for their continued service.
Try explaining to the residents why they are paying 2.5% to Columbus but not getting fire service for their income tax dollars. Instead they have to pay an additional property tax levy to get the fire service other areas of the city get as part of the 2.5% income tax.
Columbus can have them! Norwich Township FD has a massive levy on the ballot, so they're wanting us Hilliard residents to pay for Columbus city residents to have OUR FD services? 🤔 Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Columbus wins - with this reasoning - Stein used the word “bifurcated” correctly. If he can sprinkle polysyllabic prowess into conversation, I'd bet my life he can decipher the complexities of a rescue mission.
So basically sounds like this comes down to a fight over who will get the property tax money. Shouldn’t the discussion be, which fire department can best serve the area with their available resources?

We need more houses. And firefighters in Columbus. They need to lax their rules on being a firefighter. So more men and women can join and everyone get home safely.
Columbus can’t cover their own runs now. Why don’t you cancel all mutual aid and see if you can swing your own runs for 1 day.
Get more involvement on development🤓👍
A ton of areas do this. Not just Norwich Township. lol. This isn’t new.
I agree, It’s Columbus so Columbus Fire should handle it!
Anyone else in DROP? I’m so glad I have put an expiration date on this! We all used to play softball, volleyball, football and golf together. Pizza days with each other. This new generation is a mess! We used to be brothers and sisters! FAMILY! SHAMEFUL!!!!!

The city of Columbus is so notorious in violating contracts. This is clearly “contracting out”. I hope that the union prevails and I think it is only right. I hope your contract covers all of this It’s funny that the people on council claim to be “pro labor“ …but only when it suits them 
If CFD wants the area where is their new station proposed to go up? Norwich already has plans for a new station?
My firefighters know whom exactly who I am. The City of Columbus for decades has known they lack stations, apparatus and adequate manpower for each shift. The article everyone keeps reposting is from ten years ago and the runs outlying departments cover have increased. The City of Columbus is barely able to cover for brothers & sisters who are now retiring which still leaves a daily staffing shortage with new true additional members working. This is why there is such a huge burden of overtime on the budget. For many years now the city has begrudgingly added additional fire recruit classes as they fail to prioritize the safety of it's citizens. The police side of the situation is even worse.
All I can say is this: became a member of CFD in 1996. At that time there were 32 Stations. Almost 30 years later, a huge increase in population density, housing, apartments and business…. And only 3 additional Stations have been built. Just saying, something definitely wrong here.
You all realize this is public? I’m embarrassed for you all. You all are adults. The petty back and forth is ridiculous and makes the fire service as a whole look like a joke. Making a fake fb and talking back to a resident you (CFD as a whole) serve? Like what lol not everyone understands how public safety is set up or works….As for the whole entire point of this article, I personally understand and support what the local is doing. It’s not a attack on each other. HOWEVER not everyone views it that way, whether because they didn’t read the article all the way or they don’t understand how it works. Yes I see that comments were made about CFD handling their own calls…but are we all adults? Can we explain our reasonings without being childish? There was no need to go back and forth for 2 days and make it personal. You are crossing lines and putting up dividers.
I as a community leader have been advocating not only for the replacement of Fire Station 22 but an additional fire station to service the Far Southside. Our population is growing. I have 4 or 5 studies done by the City and or the IAFF showing the need. Currently the surrounding townships cover 60 plus percent of the calls for service down here. But yet Council President Hardin (who was born here) and Public Safety Chair Remy say it isn't our time yet. Well when is it the taxpayers time and the men and women of Local 67's time to have a functional fire station, not one built 70 years ago plus a second one to cover the 25.5 square miles of territory and provide City services to City residents? The sad thing is, we are the host community to the Fire Training Academy. We train the recruits for the rest of the city to utilize, but can't get a firetruck or ambulance ourselves.
Politicians fudge everything up..if they only knew what it took to do the job
CFD and Norwich arguing about jurisdiction, while Norwich Fire is asking residents in Hilliard to pay new tax levy for $172 a year for every $100,000 in property value. As much as I support fire and police, I don’t understand why they need this much cash flow.
Love our Firemen and Women !! I just wish we could clean up the drugs and other bullshit they go through !! So they could all go home safe to the families !!! Thank you all , you are the best in the country !!!

Great food, even better people!
That is really cool! Now if they could all just figure out a way to get the paramedics off the transport units before 20 years. Oh well maybe next time
I’m starting to think firefighting is hard on the hairline 🤔
All gave some, some gave all.
No better way to pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our community.
